[November 1944. Reanimation and surgery in the First French Army].

The American 6th Army Group with General Devers in command to which the French 1st Army commanded by General de Lattre de Tassigny belonged, had been brought to a standstill in the Vosges during hard fights against strongly entrenched German troops. The French anaesthesists of the Army used the technique first worked out by British and American colleagues. In spite of numerous obstacles, surgery for multiples "poly-injuries" and especially reanimation led to unexpected progress in medical knowledge.

[About an herbarium of the 18th century with Oberlin].

John Frederick Oberlin (1740-1826) minister and philantropist for sixty years in a Vosges valley, not far from Schirmeck-Rothau, studied sciences at Strasbourg University. He brought to his parish phythoterapy, Linne's classifying of plants and some start of scientific medicine. Two of his sons took their Doctor's degree at Strasbourg and one of them worked part of his life as a General Practioner in the valley. The present paper makes mention of a few plants in the herbarium preserved at the parsonage Museum of Waldersbach with their copies in slides. The interest they offer lies in their excellent preservation and the medical properties written out in French, German, Latin and Vosges provincial dialect. It is called to attention there may be an uncertainty about the present name of one plant.

[A section of divisional stretcher-bearers in 1914-1918 history].

The study of the diary written by the Chief Medical Officer of the French Infantry 34th Division's stretcher-bearers kept in the Château de Vincennes historical records as well as the personal documentation he bequeathed enable us to answer to the question: Did the planning of the Military Medical Service induced impediment to wounded men's fast evacuation to rear hospitals? The horrifying overcrowding and, time to time, precarious or inadequate materials led to a flop. But, the study shows that, from year to year, the performance accelerated, then increasing most chances to survive for wounded.
